Haru Basho starts on Sunday!
As usual if we have source, we have stream.

Here's the makuuchi banzuke.
The great attention will be on Aonishiki, who is aiming for the yokozuna belt.
Kotozakura is the lame ozeki. Sad, but I see the possibility him being ozeki for a while.
Kirishima 22 points on his ozeki run, he needs another 11 and he is set. His sekiwake pair is Takayasu, 8-7-ing on.
Tummyfuji is komusubi now, Kusano/Yoshinofuji is at M1, and the tiny Fujinokawa is at M2! Nice.
Oho slipped down to M3, but it's okay he's gonna have a great basho.
Worth to watch for:
Hakunofuji who had a bad encounter with his oyakata, Terunofuji. Shamefur for Teru.
Asanoyama trying to climb up to reclaim a position towards the top of the banzuke.
Fujiryoga is now in makuuchi, at the very end, but he is good, so he'll climb. Unless he gets injured or something.

Juryo.
There was some strong competition last time, Takerufuji wasn't too good however, fell far from expectations.
Perhaps Toshinofuji and Fujitensei are more the interesting picks.

Wew. Onosato has some serious problems this basho. I'm guessing he'll withdraw soon. Too bad.

We had a splendid basho!
Kirishima had the yusho, 12-3, and he is promoted back to ozeki.
While Onosato had to kyujo, Hoshoryu was able to finish the tournament. Weak results from a yokozuna, but at least he had his first win over Aonishiki, who held a 0-5 winning streak over him.
While we at Aonishiki, 7-8, became kadoban. He is strong and quick, with wits, but he relies much on his distinctive style and the other rikishis figured him out. Each tried to force him out of his stance, pushing him up, denying his advantage. He needs to mature, widen his horizon. He is good but he has to adapt. He also needs to learn the others.
I'm a bit sad that OHO ended up with a negative balance, but Fujinokawa got in the green with this win. I suspect OHO gave this to him, or at least made it easier, playing along with the throw. Audience loves this, reminds me of that Midorufji vs Hokuseiho bout where the tiny one similarly threw the big lad. It is also a show.

Down in juryo Kazuma and Wakanosho did really good, both are young and seem talented. Dewanoryu got the yusho there, beating Wakanosho in the playoff.
Takerufuji isn't 100% yet, but his stable mate Toshinofuji did well.

The whole thing was a great entertainment, too bad Slovbudy missed it all.

I hope Onosato comes back in good shape next basho, it's kinda weird not seeing him there. And maybe Aonishiki will do better next time too, with the way he scurried off after the last match that he was probably severely humbled when he lost to Hosh and was denied the Kachi Koshi.

 >>/55214/
Articles says he still suffers from the shoulder injury of late 2025. We could see it in January too. Wikipee says:
> dislocation of the left acromioclavicular joint
I'm not sure if he'll be able to fite in May. They might push it. I think Teru had to rassle in more serious condition. The problem I see is that Onosato is so young still. If he could recover he could be a fine yokozuna for a long time.

> Aonishiki
I do agree. I think this was a learning opportunity for him. I don't expect a yusho from him next tournament, but he will definitely prepare to be better rounded, and learn his opponents more.

Vivat!

I want to read this, I put it here, I hope I won't forget.

We had national holiday yesterday, but I was otherwise occupied so I'm writing this today.
No, I wasn't at the political gatherings done by both the Fidesz and Tisza, or any other parties. Today they are playing "who were more" game. So we're gonna pay no mind to them, or who said what in their speech as usual.

I wrote about Görgey Artúr, one of the most dividing figure of the War. Let's look at Kossuth Lajos his best patron then his most bellicose critique. Volumes can be written about him, they did, so I can only give a very concise summary of him, and perhaps one slice from his life, one aspect that I can expand on.

Why is he important in Hungarian history?
Well he was - for a short while - the "Governor-President" of the country, leading it in a position just a bit short form a dictator which Görgey had to become. Some did call him a dictator. He also filled the role of Minister of Finance in the First Free and Responsible Hungarian Government, just before he became the governor-president.

How did he got into this esteemed position of authority?
He was born in a landless noble family, so instead of gambling away his inheritance he had to learn law. He got into politics in his county, as a reformist, but occasionally he represented aristocrats in the Hungarian Diet's upper house in their absence. 
There were plenty of nobles around the county - from the population of 11 million, over 5% were nobles in 1839, so what made him stand out from the lot? His journalist work!
In those times, after the Napoleonic wars, absolutist restoration choked the societies. In the countries of the Habsburgs not just censorship existed, but there weren't any political journalism. Most of the publications were literature or scientific. They could have political undertones, but weren't any political discourse similar to later ages. Széchenyi - a great aristocratic reformer of that era - founded a periodical dedicated to public affairs but when they started to publish about the sessions of the legislature, the Diet, they met backlash and censorship, and the threat of shut down.
The Diet too - at least some of the members - wanted to create its own publication, but the majority voted against.

About this time Kossuth came into the picture. He was again a deputy of some aristocrats in 1832, and to make a living he had an arrangement to make notes about the events of the legislative sessions and send them as letters to some subscribers for some fee. To a small circle of conspirators he offered he could make a handwritten journal and showed couple of his letters. The handwritten part was important since the censorship law regulated only the printed press, not the scribbled one. They found the idea splendid but weren't enthusiastic about the person of Kossuth due to some embezzlement scandal from his past.
Still he continued on writing and sending the letters. His style improved, and he tied his work to the fight for the freedom of press. He did not just gave reports on the speeches of politicians, but he added his own notes, gave description of the speakers, described their character, and he added his subjective political opinions too. He became an actual publicist and he got noted. He got criticized and applauded. People passed on his letters, sometimes they read it out loud for groups of listeners. Others copied his idea occasionally making reports of short events, and Kossuth also had a co-author for a while. His journal, titled as Országgyűlési Tudósítások (= Paeliamentery Reports) become the voice of the opposition. But the Court also noticed him and considered him among one of the most dangerous opponents.
How many read his work? Since people shared them, we can't know. However within months the number of subscribers grew to hundred. Since the fee was quite steep for that time, they could pay law students to make enough copies, again by hand. At least the first 68 issues. Then they bought a press machine, which worked well. For about two months then Kossuth was called upon to give the press to the authorities. At least they compensated them.
The work continued till 1836 May, when the Diet was dismissed.

Kossuth wasn't willing to lose the ear of the public. He moved on to writing reports on the assemblies of the counties. However the long arm of the Court reach after him. As the member of the Diet he enjoyed immunity from certain transgressions. His work got banned a couple of times, he still published them so they caught him and sentenced him for four years of prison in 1837.
Sometimes to reach the highest places, one has to go through the lowest ones.

picrel: this building is in the Castle of Buda, in it's yard was the prison where Kossuth was incarcerated.

Blackout in all of Iberia. No Iberian was injured it happened during siesta.

Some photos, but how do you photo the lack of electricity in the wires?

https://www.thelocal.es/20250428/breaking-nationwide-blackout-hits-spain
Shit happened monday at 12:30 local time. Took about 10 hours to restore the juice in every region.
Apparently part of France was also affected.

https://www.thelocal.es/20250429/power-returns-to-parts-of-spain-grid-operator
> Sanchez said about 15 gigawatts of electricity, more than half of the power being consumed at the time, "suddenly disappeared" in about five seconds.

https://www.thelocal.es/20250428/spain-nuclear-plants-in-safe-shutdown-mode-after-blackout
> The shutdown of the country's nuclear plants was "in line with their design" when confronted with an unexpected power outage, the Spanish Nuclear Safety Council (CSN) said in a statement.
Not sure what is the reasoning behind that. How the lack of electricity can damage NPPs? Does the system make them suddenly produce more electricity if the load is not balanced? It would be cool if there was an explanation.

I'm checking El Pais, but I've see no articles there either that would explain the cause.
I think this is the latest:
https://english.elpais.com/spain/2025-04-29/spain-tries-to-go-back-to-normal-after-biggest-blackout-in-its-history.html
At 12:32 p.m. on Monday, a fluctuation was detected in the electricity grids due to a loss of generation, that is, a drop in electricity production. The drop was caused by a five-second loss of 15 GW of generation (to get a sense of the magnitude, the five nuclear power plants in Spain have a combined installed capacity of 7.4 GW). The unprecedented collapse triggered the disconnection of the Spanish electricity system from the European system, which is based on an interconnection with France.

I bet they'll blame global warming or some shit like that.

Reelest not tabloid news at all.
Mr and Mrs Macron probably had a difference over something, and the Mrs pushed Mr's face.
Media says he got slapped but it's not really a slap. It's a push.
Also, nice save Mr President.

Newsflash: CPAC Hungary is a huge circlejerk.
Listened a bunch of speeches.

Nearing to Silvester - that is New Years Eve - which is about merriment and silly stuff, among other things. So here's something fun.
This news "news" totally avoided me. Bridgette Macron - the wife of Emmanuel Macron French President - is a man!
Now this was aired by Candace Owens who is an I dunno who, but her yt channel has over 5mil subscribers:
https://yewtu.be/channel/UCL0u5uz7KZ9q-pe-VC8TY-w
https://youtube.com/channel/UCL0u5uz7KZ9q-pe-VC8TY-w

I'm sure she has a longish video exfoliating her onions about the topic, I might dig it out tomorrow perhaps. Or not. It's not that interesting.
She got sued for defamation by Macron, instead of doing a genetic test. Not sure how things standing even this news is like half a year stale.

I have one undeniable proofs that Mrs Macron is in fact a woman.
'member this post just above  >>/54294/ when she pushes/punches him with both hands? No man would do that, not even the most estrogenated mtf creatures.

Actually I think she spells her name as Brigitte. I might look up this detail too.

Seems like peace is achievable in Gaza, at least both Hamas and Israel agreed on it. Large peace conference is expected with many participants, both from the Middle East and Europe. It will be chaired by Trump and al Sisi of Egypt.
Trump talks in the Knesset right at the moment. Previously Witkoff arrived to prepare the field, when he mentioned Netanyahu the audience booed. Fun.
Exchange of prisoners is happening too.
Read somewhere a title that various Palestinian groups fighting each other (specifically with the Hamas).

Border clashes are reported between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Some Taliban groups which active in Pakistan has bases within Afghanistan and the Pak targeted these with airstrikes, last Thursday really. On Oct 9th.
In response Talibans did some wild shooting through the border. The Pakistan retaliated to the retaliation. Number of people died on both sides.
https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-pakistan-kabul-blast-594e4bf0291d6895568070a871415933
https://apnews.com/article/pakistan-afghanistan-border-6089d7b9cf33d2dcac365808ad3dad53

In the past Pakistan attacked into the territory of her neighbour in fact they did this during the US occupation all the time.
https://apnews.com/article/pakistan-afghanistan-militant-camp-air-strikes-1eb6ebd92403795d03856b1b97cac0da
And their border forces also had clashes between them:
https://www.azernews.az/region/220624.html

Backdrop for the events seems to be the Afghani integration into the regional foreign politics. The Taliban regime sought out all the neighbours, but they seem to be on odds with Iran and Pakistan, while building good relations with everyone else, Russia, China, the *stans, and most importantly at least in relation to this issue India.
Might be important to consider that Pakistani regime is the client of the United States, and that recently Trump stated they might want the Bagram airbase back. But maybe this just adds to the attention and not to the actual conflict.

Fun fact. India did similarly to Pak, how Pak did Afghanistan. They are on the receiving and the giving end apparently.

So the leaders of the US, Egyp, Turkey, and Qatar signs a document that outlines "rules and regulations" of the ceasefire implementation between Hamas and Israel  >>/54719/
I'm not sure the real importance.
In theory the US has the power to force Israel to keep what's agreed on, Qatar has working relation with Hamas, Egypt is a direct neighbour, and Turkey is an important regional power with strong influence on Syria.
But then why not the Saudis?
I also see that Iran was marginalized so much, they don't seem to pay mind for them, even tho, Hamas is a proxy of theirs. Perhaps it's not true anymore.
And I'm curious if Egypt is a US client now. Israel yes, Turkey yes, Qatar I assume yes (US has basing rights there, it usually comes with the status).
> The main U.S. military base in Qatar is Al Udeid Air Base, which serves as a key logistics and command hub for U.S. operations in the Middle East. It is home to the U.S. Air Forces Central Command and hosts thousands of military personnel and various aircraft.
Ah this sounds like a very much yes in case of Qatar.

I might look up Egypt status somehow. This could be a good starting point perhaps.

Also I think last post in the thread, it hit bump limit.

I tried a hardly products from Tillmans Tranquils - https://www.tillmanstranquils.com/collections/delta-9-thc-mints  and unqualifiedly liked the entire experience. The gummies have a clean know, slick surface, and consistent quality. The flavors feel reasonable, and the portioned servings up it amenable to prefer what works in return you. Their packaging looks premium and everything feels thoughtfully made. A unshakeable make with products that are enjoyable and reliable.
